... to evaluate the influence of reinforced soil foundation ( RSF ) on the performance of GRS abutments constructed on loose granular foundations. The implementation of RSF could effectively reduce abutment deformations and reinforcement tensile forces, and the GRS abutment would show good performance...

...F. Gebremariam; B. F. Tanyu; E. Güler; G. S. Urgessa; P. Shen This paper focuses on investigation of the effects of the presence of a bearing bed and reinforced soil foundation (RSF), the vertical reinforcement spacing and reinforcement stiffness, and subgrade compressibility on design components...
